this is so laughable... our dearest MM Lee (what a title he made for himself there, so his presense will always be felt), claims tt our opposition is 3rd world standard.

while the PAP has been able to push us forward from 3rd world to 1st world economically in such a short time, culturally and our human rights, we're still stuck in 3rd world standard for sure. its truly embarrassing that we only have 1 newspaper, and we all know how much the content is controlled. no need for me to spell it out, but ranked 2nd last in the world, 1 spot above Iraq in terms of freedom of speech, it says a lot. our tv channels, BLOGS, internet forums, newspapers are all trolled or controlled by various organisations. sometimes, i feel like i'm still living in an era where there was a threat of communism, hence such measures had to be taken.

no internet marketing of politics.. why? because it undermines the elections.. ok, how about, because its hard to monitor? and yeah, i could go on, but i dun really wanna be arrested or sued or sth. no talking abt politics repeatedly on blogs, unless u register. well, i dunno about any other 1st world countries tt you can't talk abt almost anything you want..

well, 3rd world standard politics? hmmm... i wonder why this has happened. i agree with PM Lee tt the SDP is desperate, but only because they've been driven to desperation. by who or what? well, you tell me... ;)

but ultimately, the mandate is in the pple's hands. if they have so chosen, and overwhelmingly so, for the PAP, it gives them the power to decide what to do. but it so appears, that singaporeans are still as apathetic as ever, only concerned about the money they make. tt's life in singapore my overseas friends. treasure your freedom over there.

and for the record, Mr Chee will be broke once again.. ;)
